Ingredients

1 box Jumbo Pasta Shells

1 lb Ground Beef

1/2 lb Hot Italian Sausage

2 10oz Jars of Prego/Ragu Chunky Garden Style Sauce

4 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

2 cups Mozzarella Cheese

Ricotta or Cottage Cheese

1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped

1cup of chopped Onion

2 Cloves of chopped Garlic

1 tbs Italian Seasoning

1/2 tsp of Cayenne Pepper

1/2 tsp of Black Pepper

Salt (season to taste)

2- 9" square pans or 1- 13" x 9" x 2"

Directions

Prepare shells according to instructions on box.

Cook ground beef, sausage, onion, bell pepper, garlic and seasonings.

Stuff each shell with a spoonful of Ricotta/Cottage Cheese, cheddar cheese then layer with beef/sausage mixture.

Add more cheddar cheese, spread sauce on top, then top with mozzarella and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Place shells in ungreased pans, cover with aluminum foil and heat in oven for approx. 20-30 min. until the cheese is melted inside and out.

Tips: Lightly grease foil covering shells so the cheese doesn't stick to it. To cut down on time, sometimes I mix the meat and cheese mixture together, then stuff shells. Also, I sometimes mix a little bit of sugar and cayenne pepper with my sauce to add a little more sweet spicy flavor to the shells. Just depends on the mood.

Last tip: Enjoy!!!!

Sounds fantastic...and great tip on the tinfoil being greased before placing in on top of the shells - that tip can be used so many other places I would never have thunk it! Great posting - saving and rating as I know I will try this... I have homemade sauce in the freezer and sausage and shells ready to be cooked - now I just need the ricotta - great substitute with the cottage cheese - never heard of that either!
